Recommendations

4. Members are requested to note and comment on this report.

1 Purpose of this report

1.1 This report follows on from the previous Scrutiny Board report which provided an introduction into Bus Services in Leeds, and outlined the associated Key Issues. This report outlines the challenges and opportunities associated with the Area Bus Network review programme, the current position in terms of a Bus Strategy for West Yorkshire, synergies with the City Deal and the creation of a combined authority for West Yorkshire.

2 Background information

2.1 The previous report gave Members the historical background, to the current deregulated bus market, decline in bus patronage and service levels. The report outlined the key issues regarding the integration of bus services, bus ticketing, bus reliability and punctuality, bus user satisfaction, journey speed and congestion.

2.2 The third West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan (LTP3) sets out a comprehensive strategy to tackle the decline in bus patronage, under the themes of Asset Management, Travel Choices, Connectivity and Enhancement to the transport system. The Plan also proposes a new approach to working with bus operators through a Bus Strategy for West Yorkshire in order to address the sustained decline of bus patronage. In addition to this the recently announced City Deal for the Leeds City Region has a strong emphasis on transport, which seeks to bring together local and national funding with devolved powers and new governance arrangements.

3 Main issues

3.1 Metro are undertaking a programme of Area Bus Network Reviews in each District in order to achieve significant savings in the budget for tendered services, The purpose of the review will be; Establish and raise awareness the core network of high frequency bus services in each area as defined and promoted in the LTP3; Engage with commercial bus operators on those services which operate without Metro subsidy; Review and redesign the tendered bus network in order to reduce costs in line with Metro’s revised budget position.

3.2 The Leeds review will involve changes to contracts and services from July 2013. A set of proposed changes to bus services will be developed and issued for consultation early in 2013. The review is seeking to obtain savings from the tendered bus network whilst protecting the on-going economic viability and social benefit of the bus network. The total value of Metro specified services under review in the District is £3.5 million pa.

3.3 The West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive has provided a report on the Leeds Area Bus Network Review. This is included in appendix 1.

Bus Strategy for West Yorkshire

3.4 A high quality integrated bus network for Leeds and West Yorkshire is key to achieving Local Transport Plan objectives. Proposal 16 of LTP3 outlines aspirations for a ‘new framework for local bus services as part of an integrated transport system’, through the implementation of a Quality Bus Contract Scheme to help deliver improved local bus services in West Yorkshire, replacing the existing deregulated market with a system of contracts, as currently operates in London.

Partnership Offer

3.5 The four largest bus operators in West Yorkshire, and a number of smaller operators, have formed an association – the Association of Bus Operators in West Yorkshire (ABOWY). ABOWY have submitted a collective partnership proposal and consider that their proposals address the detailed requirements which have been developed on the basis of approved WYITA reports and the objectives and strategy set out in the third West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan.

3.6 The operator proposals have considerable merits and would provide significant customer benefits and would be likely to have a positive impact on bus patronage. The main area of contention has been around ticketing. Operators see multi- operator tickets as premium products, priced higher than similar operator only products. Metro refutes this view, and believes that operators introduced many of their products as a way of protecting market share by discouraging competition.

3.7 The Authority meeting of 29 June 2012 endorsed a Bus Quality Contract Scheme as the preferred approach to addressing the decline in bus patronage and rejected the partnership offer from the Association of Bus Operators in West Yorkshire (ABOWY). The report to the Authority meeting advised that:

’On balance, it is recommended that the Quality Contract option should be adopted as the preferred approach as it would, on the basis of work undertaken to date, provide the greatest benefits and be the most certain way of achieving the Authority’s aspirations for a local integrated transport system. This decision would provide a clear signal of the Authority’s intentions but would not rule out further consideration of a partnership offer at a future date as the scheme development process requires on-going justification of the preferred approach’

Better Bus Areas

3.8 The Department for Transport publication ‘Green Light for Better Buses’ (March 2012) proposed support for partnership working between bus companies and local authorities, reform the way that the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG), a subsidy to operators is paid. Improve competition in English local bus markets, and bring local transport authorities and bus companies together to help develop effective multi-operator ticketing schemes.

3.9 The Department for Transport have now published a consultation document regarding the devolution of Bus Service Operator Grant (BSOG) and the criteria for Better Bus Areas. The proposals in the consultation document would, in effect,

preclude an authority developing proposals for a Bus Quality Contract Scheme from bidding to become a Better Bus Area and benefit from devolved and additional funding. the proposal for Better Bus Areas could have significant implications for the Business Case for a Bus Quality Contract Scheme for West Yorkshire as it could affect the availability of funding in different scenarios.

3.10 ABOWY members have indicated a desire to revisit and enhance the partnership offer in the light of the proposal for Better Bus Areas and the development of a West Yorkshire Transport Fund. They have also indicated a willingness to give fresh consideration to actions that would address the significant gaps between the partnership offer and the Authority’s aspirations.

3.11 The West Yorkshire Council Leaders have recently confirmed their support for a Bus Quality Contract Scheme as it offers the potential for better alignment with wider policy objectives and the proposed West Yorkshire Transport Fund, and would complement devolution initiatives set out in the Leeds City Region Deal. The Leaders have requested that the Authority give urgent consideration to whether a revised partnership offer, with the opportunity to bid for Better Bus Area status, should be accepted or the proposed Quality Contract Scheme should be progressed.

3.12 The current legislation provides for both partnership and quality contract approaches to enhancing local bus services under the provisions of the Local Transport Act (2008).

4 Local Governance and Accountability

4.1 As outlined in the previous report the under Transport Act 2000 (as amended by the Local Transport Act 2008), The West Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority (WYITA) is solely responsible for developing policies for the promotion and encouragement of safe, integrated, efficient and economic transport to, from and within West Yorkshire, through the Local Transport Plan (LTP3), in consultation with the Districts.

4.2 The Metropolitan District Councils within West Yorkshire have a duty to carry out their functions to deliver the policies of WYITA within LTP3, and to have regard to the proposals of WYITA within LTP3 for delivering those policies, when carrying out those functions.

4.3 The recently announced City Deal for the Leeds City Region has a strong emphasis on transport which seeks to bring together local and national funding with devolved powers and new governance arrangements to further strengthen the role of transport in delivery of economic growth. It will manage £1bn of transport investment from 2014, supported by funding from the Department for Transport, with the aim of enabling economic growth by reducing journey times and improve connectivity with neighbouring areas.

4.4 The measures within the City Deal complement the WYITA's recent decision to adopt Quality Contracts as the preferred way of delivering the bus strategy and to bring together the tools necessary for the transport authority to deliver transformational change.

4.5 West Yorkshire Leaders committed, subject to the findings of a necessary statutory review process, to creating a Combined Authority for West Yorkshire as swiftly as possible as part of the required governance arrangements of the City Deal.

5 Corporate Considerations

5.1 Consultation and Engagement

5.1.1 Transport cannot be planned effectively in isolation because it has a wider role to play in the achievement of a range of social, environmental and economic objectives. The Local Transport Plan was developed through partnership working, engagement and consultation with a range of partners and stakeholders. The engagement and consultation involved three rounds of formal public consultation.

5.1.2 The process for developing and implementing a Bus Quality Contract scheme requires an intensive period of discussion with key stakeholders (the current stage) before a decision of the Authority to give notice of its intention to make a Bus Quality Contract Scheme, and launch a formal consultation. A future decision to give notice would require Metro to:

• publish a consultation document, which must (among other things) set out the authority’s assessment of how the “public interest” criteria are met as well as a declaration to the effect that the scheme is affordable.

• send a copy of that document to various interested parties, including statutory consultees identified in the Transport Act 2000.

• give notice of the proposal in at least one newspaper circulating in the area of the proposed scheme. The purpose of this requirement is to raise public awareness of the proposal and a communications strategy would be developed to inform and engage with all those with an interest.

• send a copy of the notice to the senior traffic commissioner (STC). This notice serves as the trigger for the STC to constitute the Quality Contract Scheme Board that will later consider the proposal and give an opinion.

5.1.3 The Leeds Area Bus Network Review Consultation included member and stakeholder briefings, during the week commencing 10 th December, with a Public Consultation Process taking place from the 7 th January to 1 st February 2013.

5.2 Equality and Diversity / Cohesion and Integration

5.2.1 The development of bus strategy and transport interventions is being accompanied by full Equality Impact Assessments as appropriate by the LTP partners, Metro and the five district councils in line with their respective procedures for such assessments.

5.3 Council Policies and City Priorities

5.3.1 The provision and future development of high quality bus services in the city contributes is a priority within the Local Transport Plan and transport strategy and specifically supports the delivery of the City Priorities to:

• Improve journey times and the reliability of public transport; and • Improve the environment through reduced carbon emissions.

5.4 Resources and Value for Money

5.4.1 This report has no specific resource and value for money implications.

5.5 Legal Implications, Access to Information and Call In

5.5.1 This report has no specific legal or access to information implications.

5.6 Risk Management

5.6.1 This report has no risk management implications. Processes for risk and project management form part of the various projects related to the bus strategy being progressed by the City Council and Metro.

6 Conclusions

6.1.1 This report provides details regarding the challenges and opportunities associated with the Area Bus Network review programme. In addition to this further details have been provided on a Bus Strategy for West Yorkshire, Bus Quality Contracts and the associated interfaces with the Better Bus Area Grant, as well as synergies with the City Deal and the creation of a combined authority for West Yorkshire.

Appendix 1

WEST YORKSHIRE PASSENGER TRANSPORT EXECUTIVE

SUBJECT: LEEDS AREA BUS NETWORK REVIEW

1. PURPOSE OF REPORT

1.1 To advise the Scrutiny Board of Metro’s current Area Bus Network Review in Leeds,

2. BACKGROUND TO THE REVIEW

2.1 Metro need to make very significant reductions in its expenditure as a result of the central Government cuts in grant to District Councils. Whilst savings have been made in Metro’s staffing, administrative and accommodation costs, a high proportion of Metro’s revenue budget funds the provision of specified bus services and concessionary fares. As Metro has very limited discretion over expenditure on the statutory scheme for free bus travel for senior and disabled people, the greatest impact of the need to reduce expenditure will fall on bus services.

2.2 Metro is undertaking a rolling programme of Area Bus Network reviews which started in the and Wakefield districts in 2011 moving on to Kirklees in 2012 and Leeds and Calderdale in 2013. The timing of the programme is determined by the Metro’s tender programme for specified bus services; current contracts in the Leeds area expire in July 2013.

2.3 Contracts for services in , and the area expire later in 2013 and will be subject to a separate consultation later in the year.

3. LEEDS REVIEW

3.1 The total value of current expenditure under consideration in the review is £3.5 million per annum. A target saving of 25% has been set in all of the review areas in order to keep within budget. A saving of £0.875m pa is therefore required.

3.2 The Local Transport Plan 3 identifies a “core network” of bus services which carry approximately 70% of passengers in West Yorkshire. The LTP3 identifies these routes as the priority for capital investment in schemes to increase bus use in West Yorkshire. These are the most profitable routes for the commercial bus operators. Metro currently funds some early morning, evening and Sunday journeys on some of these services. It is considered that these routes generate enough income in fares to stand alone without public subsidy. Metro will therefore no longer fund these journeys after July 2012. In the Leeds area this will reduce annual expenditure by £0.8 million.

3.3 The remaining sum will need to be found through a value for money appraisal of the services which operate under contract to Metro. An extensive review of these services in terms of passenger use and operating resources has been carried out. Efforts have been made to minimise the impact on passengers and

communities as far as possible. In several instances, Metro has sought to address known issues reported by customers and elected members. In some cases, operational changes are proposed which will reduce to bus resources required to provide the services thereby reducing costs.

3.4 The commercial bus operators have been involved in the review to date. Changes to some services they operate without Metro subsidy have been incorporated into the proposals for consultation.

4. PROPOSED CHANGES AND CONSULTATION

4.1 Following briefings to elected members during December 2012, proposed bus service changes arising from the review will be issued for consultation. A number of consultation events have been arranged during January and early February.

4.2 An area by area summary of the changes is attached as Appendix 1 to this briefing note.

4.3 The views expressed by the Scrutiny Board will be included in Metro’s evaluation of the consultation feedback.

5. PROCESS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD

5.1 Following the closure of the consultation period in January, tenders will be invited from bus companies. Metro has sought to structure the services into contract packages which it is hoped may be attractive to a wider number of bus companies. Increased competition will help keep tender prices down.

5.2 Metro has successfully encouraged increased competition for tenders in the Bradford, Wakefield and Kirklees reviews. This has delivered cost savings however, it has resulted in some services being split between operators. It is possible that such an arrangement may prevail on some routes following this review.

5.3 Tenders from bus companies will be invited and evaluated and a final decision will be made in spring 2013. A summary of the results of the consultation and the outcome of the tender process will be issued to Leeds members.

5.4 Metro will prepare an Equality Impact Assessment for each withdrawn or significantly reduced service. These have not yet been carried out as they will be informed by the consultation process.
